I know allot of people like Disneyland because it's the original but I think if I was to visit wdw as an adult I would enjoy it more simply because it has more stuff. I enjoy the zoo allot so I think I would get a big kick out of animal kingdom - Hendizl 2553.4 #44 6:33PM

As a native southern californian, I prefer disneyland. It just seems to have more magic and nostalgia for us. Wdw feels much more commercialized. There are some attractions we like better here at wdw though- like HM, splash, ToT, etc. Maybe it's just because we grew up going to DL - TickledTink

Disneyland seems so much smaller than Magic Kingdom, but....many rides are much more betts. Pirates is better. Haunted Mansion is better. It's a Small World is better. Plus Disneyland has Indiana Jones, Nemo Submarines, and Matterhorn. Awesome.

That's so exciting! Just a heads up, there are lots of refurbishments happening right now, so be sure to look at the DL calendar so that you know what's closed before you arrive (two big ones, I think, are Matterhorn and Splash Mountain, and the castle moat is currently being drained). As far as food, we rarely make reservations, but if there's something you know you'll want to do, it's a good idea to just call Disney Dining and do that ahead of time. Blue Bayou overlooks POTC, and the new Carthay Circle in DCA is gorgeous. They are now doing Fastpass distribution for Fantasmic, with dining packages, so you might want to check that out. Have fun!! :) - Spoonful_O_Sugar

Fun! Disneyland is my home resort as I only live a few hours away. When are you vacationing? The one big difference is that it is not as planned out :) - fab5

Oogie Boogie is actually motorized. His head moves. I used to have zero, the bats, and snowflakes hanging from the ceiling. New principal said it was a fire hazard and made me take them down. - Experiment869

I wanted to be an architect when I was a child. I ended up becoming a Sailor in the US Navy. I retired from that several years ago. Now I am a teacher. I teach both in High School and college. One of the courses I teach is Drafting & Print Reading. This is as close as I have come to my original desire of architecture.

When I grow up I want to be wealthy and vacation for a living. Currently I am a maternal child home nurse at my paid profession. My unpaid passion is wife and mother of 2 pirates and 1 princess. - 5disneylovers

When you start your grown up job please can I be your assistant! - rink2 99.7 #63 8:06AM

An actress, and you know those career placement test that a slot of schools have kids take? Every single one of those said I belong in the entertainment field. I am currently stuck at a job I hate working for the local government. I have gone back to school to try and make an improvement to my situation. I am studying business administration and accounting, but it isn't what I want to do at all. - Lelundrial

Wanted to be Peter Pan but ended up Goofy. My original goal was to be a psychologist. After I got out of the service I changed my major to journalism. Have been in the publishing industry almost 40 years. - jacdanfan

Boy Scout camp is AWESOME! We leave the last week in July. I must say, I tend to have much more fun then my boys....at least from my point of view. He'll have the time of his life. Is this his very first time?

I guess "junk" is the wrong word - that's the wife's word. I am a very impulsive buyer and am easily distracted by 'Ooooo Shiny.' She's the one who looks forward six months and says, "and you bought this for what reason? To sit on a drawer or take up space on a dresser? I am the one who dusts it off. It's just a waste of money.

haha. that is a good point as well! i will be honest, with me collecting vinyls and somewhat pins, I TEND TO BUY EVERYTHING so bad!!! it is likely a WANT and not NEED! but that is a sad fact, disney stuff looks cool, hence "OH SHINY!"... but after 6months, it will be like, "WHY DID I BUY THIS?" (Vinylmations are great example of that! they tend to be send to outlet store at 50%-75% off the price!) - otilegna 1988.8 #66 9:42AM

Yep been there done that! Lol. I have been getting a little better with age. - mmddgp 493.8 #12 9:46AM
